Nice package, incredible material, and great sound. There is a "vinyl noise" apparent at times, but this is surface noise from the alternate acetate rather than a vinyl boot. The random song order could have been chosen better and put into a more chronological order. Also see 'The Lonesome Sparrow Sings" The track listing on the back uses the working titles of the songs as they appear on the vault masters. This can be a little misleading, as the songs were released under different titles. Some, however, are so different from the released version as to deserve a different title.
